Amid the new wave of Royal Oaks just unveiled by Audemars Piguet (AP), there\'s a new "concept," the Royal Oak Concept Split Seconds Chronograph GMT. Traditionally a platform to showcase novel materials and radical design, the new Royal Oak Concept (ROC) follows this line – but more notably includes a new and ingeniously constructed split-seconds self-winding chronograph movement.
initial thought
Much like previous models in the ROC collection, the new split-seconds chronograph comes in a thick, aggressive case that makes a bold statement, albeit refined to be more wearable, especially considering its size— — it is by far the most wearable concept.[url=https://www.proreviewwatch.co]replica watches for sale[/url]
Paradoxically, the movement inside the oversized case was clearly designed with thinness in mind. For a split-seconds chronograph with large date, second time zone and self-winding, the movement has a modest height of 8.92mm, slim by the standards of a complication.
In stark contrast to the design (reminiscent of a Richard Mille RM 11), the movement is exceptionally refined and ingenious. An example is the rotor supported by a large central hub, which provides enough space in the middle to accommodate the entire split-seconds mechanism. This helps reduce thickness while providing a view of the rattrapante mechanism without being obstructed by the rotor.
Like most of its counterparts in the collection, the new ROC has a geometric titanium case framed by sharp facets and broad sides. Uniquely shaped, the only resemblance to the original Royal Oak is the octagonal bezel, but this is amplified here by an enlarged hex nut.[url=https://www.chronowrist.ru]high quality replica watches[/url]
A subtlety in the design is the curved case and bezel, a detail that contributes to ergonomic comfort. The arched case allows it to fit nicely on the wrist, increasing wear resistance to a surprising degree considering the (very) large size of 43mm x 17.4mm.
The movement is the highlight, and the dial shows it off. Like the case, the dial is geometrically openworked for an aggressive look. The dial is actually a single piece of German silver that has been skeletonised, sandblasted and black-coated, while the bevels around the edges are polished and rhodium-plated for contrast.
The large date is visible through the movement bridge at 12 o\'clock. Meanwhile, the GMT function is located on the sub-dial at three o\'clock, which can be advanced in one-hour increments by means of a coaxial pusher integrated into the crown.[url=https://www.chronowrist.ru]best replica watches uk[/url]
solid foundation
Powering the ROC split-seconds chronograph GMT is calibration. The 4407 is based on calibration. The 4401 is the basis for most of AP\'s chronograph offerings.
The base movement is 6.8 mm thick, and the addition of the large date, GMT and rattrapante functions only increases the height to 8.92 mm – an achievement of slim construction. Without the large date and GMT, the movement will fit into thinner watches, which we will no doubt see in the future.
Despite this, the diameter of the movement remains unchanged at 32mm compared to the base version. The basic chronograph movement was designed from the outset with a solid flyback mechanism, featuring numerous levers to facilitate function. It also has a self-winding mechanism on the back that helps add to its thickness.
Carl. However, the 4407 widened the rotor hub to accommodate the rattrapante mechanism. Thus, the rattrapante wheel and pincers are visible in the center of the movement, completely unobstructed by the oscillating weight. This optimized rattrapante is also included in the Code 11.59 Universelle, which also just debuted.[url=https://www.chronowrist.ru/richard-mille-rm-050-c-8_11.html]Replica Richard Mille McLaren[/url]
